I had not seen Peter for many years until he showed up to my mother's funeral a year ago last September. He had read her obit in the newspaper and thought he should attend. What a lovely gesture from a friend my family had not seen in a long time. He immediately friended me on Facebook to keep in touch.
My deepest condolences to all his family.

Pete was such a valuable asset to the United States Postal Service, and we all feel the loss very deeply. Please accept our condolences and know that our thoughts and prayers are with the Pagano Family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!!!

I am very saddened of the news of Pete's passing. He was a good friend, colleague and just a terrific guy. He was so helpful to me and all who needed his expertise and was always willing to provide his knowledge and time when anyone needed it. I will miss the talks on music, which he was very passionate about. Laura Nyro, The Beatles, The Fab Faux and Rebeca Correia, whose music, voice and friendship are very special to Anne and Pete. He will be missed enormously here at the USPS, but all the beautiful music out there will always bring great memories to me of this good man. Peace.

Although we haven't seen each other since John Phillip Sousa JHS, Pete and I recently reconnected and texted about music and old times. Pete and his sister, Maryann, taught me how to dance on their back patio so I could go to a CYO dance. We talked about going to the Chicago concert at Gaelic Park, and Super Session with Mike Bloomfield, which Pete told me he still listened to after all these years. Pete, you were a good friend and a good man, and I hope the music is great in Heaven!

I met Pete in 1989 at the Yonkers Main GPO when he worked in the Finance Department.
Found out his aunt's family lived on the same block as our family years ago (small world).
Always a gentleman and conscientious worker--willing to assist and trustworthy.
I appreciated meeting his family and their hospitality. Pete has truly loved his family and expressed such pride in his daughters. Seeing them grow into such fine women contributes much to his legacy.
May you find joy and peace as you remember the love and good times you shared together.
Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
Sincere Condolences

God Bless you my friend. So many years have past and I haven't seen you and this is how we reconnect. God grant your family His comfort and peace over them.
I remember getting my first ride cymbal from "The Lady" your music teacher who sold to John Bonham also.
I hope all went well in life till this time. I will see you again someday Pete.
God be with you.

So sorry for your loss. Pete was always willing to help fellow postal folks and customers. He excelled at his job and had become somewhat of a legend to many of us in the field. Helpful, funny, responsive and always willing to put complicated regs into easy to understand language. USPS has lost a great resource and a great guy.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his postal family. He will be missed by many of those who only knew him as the PCSC guy---I can only imagine your loss of this larger than life man.

I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of Pete. I was totally shocked when I received the news of his passing. I worked with Pete for many years, where he provided guidance to me on direct mail "dos and don'ts". He had such a friendly demeanor. May god wrap his arms around you all and walk with you in the coming days.

I first worked with Pete in Revenue Assurance and now at the PCSC. There wasn’t a person more generous with his time and expertise. I will forever miss his love of music, storytelling and love of life but will always remember how he enriched my life and the lives of countless others. My deepest condolences to his family.

In utter dismay and disbelief of Pete's passing. With deep gratitude, I thank Pete for freely sharing his knowledge and expertise, humor, patience and passions with us. Pete’s legacy lives on in all who were fortunate enough to know him. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

I enjoyed working with Peter for many years. Always willing to help. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed. Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time.
My deepest condolences

May the love and support of all the lives he touched and the memories of all the laughter and good times you shared bring you comfort in the days ahead. He truly was a one of a kind man who will be missed by so many, but whose spirit and love for life lives on in those that knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am a colleague of Pete from HQ in Washington, DC and just met with him a few weeks ago. It is so sad and hard to believe that Pete passed away. I met him as a very kind, funny, intelligent, and caring person who would go out of his way to help.
My deepest sympathy for you -
